In addition, escaped cats can be destructive as they attempt to hide and resist recapture. Cats are experts at escape-and if a feral cat is afforded any opportunity, he will almost always succeed! Recapturing cats can be difficult, and increases the risk of injury to both cats and staff. Transferring cats to larger enclosures is not recommended for short-term holding, because it increases the risk of human injury as well as cat escape. Once you’ve captured cats in a humane box trap, hold them there until the time of surgery. Hold cats only a short time before surgery. Some of these steps will likely be performed by trappers and caregivers, others by the veterinarians performing the examinations, vaccinations, and surgeries.

5/21/2023 0 Comments Monkey Beach by Eden RobinsonBy recalling the dream, Lisa recaptures the memory of the day she caught a glimpse of one of these legendary beings, an enigmatic incident connected to the "gift" that enables her to understand the talking crows. Lisa's portal to memory is a dream about Monkey Beach, one of her family's favorite places not only because of its pristine beauty but because it is believed to be the home of the b'gwus - the sasquatch or wild men of the woods. Another distinctive feature is the way Robinson purposefully interweaves the past and the present as she glides gracefully between Lisa's perspective on the drama surrounding Jimmy's disappearance and the vivid memories of her childhood and tumultuous and tragic adolescence that claim her consciousness as surely as water claims a body. The Canadian Indian author of an accomplished short-story collection, "Traplines" (1996), Robinson grew up on the Haisla Nation Kitamaat reserve in northern British Columbia, and the history and culture of the Haisla, which are tightly bound to the forested coastal mountains and fecund sea, permeate this supple and often mysterious variation on the classic coming-of-age motif. 5/21/2023 0 Comments After the Fire by Will HillThe fire also destroyed all the existing bar equipment, including funky glassware gifted to the bar by customers and Diedrich’s personal collection of rare liquor bottles amassed at conventions or on his travels abroad over the past 10 years. By 4 a.m., the fire was out but it was far too late for the Lower Nob Hill bar that endured severe structural damage. Thick, black smoke billowed from the structure as fire crews actively worked to get the blaze under control. Diedrich then grabbed his belongings and sped to his bar, just a few blocks away from his home, and was confronted with every business owner’s worst nightmare. You've got to get down here." It's a call Diedrich will never forget as he described the difficult moment to SFGATE after the fire was extinguished. On the other line, a loyal PCH customer frantically cried, “Kev! Kev! Your bar is on fire. Last February, Diedrich was stirred awake around 3 a.m. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Long way down kb ritchieThe Appeal Of This Book Is Its Abundance Of Short Stories, Which Keep Readers Entertained From The First Page To The Very Last.

And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it.

It’s not really the genre of book either of us would typically pick up (leaning more towards the YA, mystery, fantasy, and sci-fi camps), so we were both glad that SPL Book Bingo forced us to go outside our bubbles and read this wonderful book. My friend and I picked this book out for our Seattle Public Library Adult Summer Book Bingo cards, which required a book written by a past or present Seattle Arts & Lectures speaker.

Lukens makes you want to both hug them and punch them at the same time. Now Arek is stuck as king, a role that comes with a magical catch: choose a spouse by your eighteenth birthday, or wither away into nothing. Lots of pining and both Arek and Matt being totally oblivious about the other one's thoughts and feelings. As a temporary safeguard, Arek’s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. While they were soft and fluffy and full of long glances and warm smiles and boys soft for each other, this is a story of pining and obliviousness. Lukens (they/them) where Carry On meets Arthurian legend in a funny, subversive, queer tale about what happens after the chosen. This book deviates in style from Lukens' previous ones ( In Deeper Waters and The Rules duology). So This is Ever After is a new LGBTQ YA Fantasy novel by F.T. It is both realistic and sarcastic at many points (such as the princess and the tower). Right from the start, the dialogue has you cackling, because the group of questers that toppled the evil ruler and freed the kingdom is, well, a group of young people tired from the hardships and with no idea of what to do after they fulfill the prophect. So This Is Ever After is an ode to pining, a nod to fantasy tropes, self-sarcastic, hilarious and answering the question of what happens after the hero's journey ends. 5/20/2023 0 Comments The kill artistHe is just one of many larger-than-life characters (both real and invented) thrown into the mixDArafat himself has a tense encounter with Tariq that underscores the volatility of terrorist loyalty.

The Grapes of Wrath won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1939. Three powerful novels of the late 1930s focused on the California laboring class: In Dubious Battle (1936), Of Mice and Men (1937), and the book considered by many his finest, The Grapes of Wrath (1939). A ceaseless experimenter throughout his career, Steinbeck changed courses regularly. Popular success and financial security came only with Tortilla Flat (1935), stories about Monterey’s paisanos. After marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, The Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in The Long Valley (1938). During the next five years he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, Cup of Gold (1929). In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. John Steinbeck, born in Salinas, California, in 1902, grew up in a fertile agricultural valley, about 25 miles from the Pacific Coast. |
